More than Casino's but windy as "H. E" double hockey sticks

We had a lovely day in Atlantic City. We started our morning with a bike ride along the sculpture  trail. This is a 1.1 mile long trail that is lined with sculptures and really nice landscaping.  It is about 1 mile to get to it, so we rode about 5 miles today. It is really nice and lots of people enjoy walking it. 






After our bike ride and a little viewing of the sculptures, the marsh and the most productive wind turbine farm in the US, we made our way back to the boat and had a short visit with some other loopers.



After lunch we hopped on a Jitney and went to the famous Boardwalk. Turns out it's not all gone! The section I took a picture of yesterday was damaged by Hurricane Sandy, but the section behind all the hotels an Casino's on the other side of town is still in great condition. So the Jitney is a little bus (15 passengers) that runs between the Casino's on the marina side and the Casinos on the Boardwalk side.





We got off at the Taj Mahal, very opulent. We walked through the casino and right out the back to the board walk.












They entire area is lined by the beach.  I'm guessing we have been in the heat a little too long because we felt it was too cold to go to the beach but these people did not! Not however that they are basically the only people who thought it was warm enough!










So after walking for a few hours, we hoped the Jitney again and back to the boat we went. We will be leaving early tomorrow am. Probably around 5:30 or 6am so I better end this and make my way to the hot tub for a relaxing soak before going to bed.
